A friend’s son just relayed that the president and administration of the University of Alabama are getting lots of hate mail for allowing President Trump to speak to their graduates on campus. If you watched that speech or just want to send a word of encouragement or appreciation, please send an email to President Bell at president@ua.edu
Heat? Just whom is the President of the U of Alabama taking heat from? Trump won the state three times with 70 percent of the vote.
Liberals from across the country. This kid and his friends are trying to get their families and friends to write notes of support to show those loudmouths are not the majority.
Alabama? This is what happens when you let cockroaches roam.
More than half the students are from out of state.
My daughter went there on scholarship from California. Lots of Californians, students from Illinois, and Texans.
My daughter got very liberal there. Lots of liberal faculty and students.
Mine came back more conservative than when she left, thank goodness. She converted her husband from non political to conservative to the chagrin of his mother, a teacher.
My MAGA wife went to Auburn and has never had a like for Alabama, however she completely supports having Trump speak at their graduation!
I’ll step up to apologize for President Donald Trumps words. On behalf of the greatest US president of our times, I apologize if he offended anyone’s GD’d fragile sensibilities. No hard feelings?
Please have her drop a note of support.
She just did!
When will Trump be giving the speech?
I hope they don’t chicken out.
He gave the speech on Thursday. It was packed. Tickets were made available to graduating seniors, then offered to other students. There was tons of cheering. The student and local Dems had a pitiful protest in a nearby park with 100-150 people.
Thank you and her for the suport
I’m glad it could be done and was.
This time, without any riots or Antifa slashing tires in the parking lot. That kind of Lib tantruming seems to be happening far less during this term vs Trump’s first one.
We were driving close to that park that night - Snow Hinton on McFarland. Beto O’Rourke spoke. Didn’t notice any difference in traffic there. But over by the university was crazy.
They want heat? Send the ahos home for the summer with a pickup bed load of homework. Now that’s some “heat”. Especially for the illiterate slobs who don’t know how to read.
Now, for THAT, I criticize.
“Alabama? This is what happens when you let cockroaches roam.”
Alabama is full of coastal cockroaches.
